RECIPE Sprout Bhajis!

This week's recipe challenge set by The Gluten Freak is a 'modern twist on a Christmas classic'.

So ladies and gentleymen I bring you - sprout bhajis!

What better way to use up those leftover sprouts?

Not many people react positively when I mention my sprout bhajis, but I promise you, you will love them!

I cook my Christmas day sprouts with pancetta or lardons and onion. For the bhajis, slice up the leftover sprouts and place in a bowl with any spices you like - ginger, chilli and coriander are perfect and add a teaspoon of turmeric for colour and garam masala for taste.

Then add 200g of gram flour (chickpea flour, naturally gluten free) and 200ml of cold water. Add to that a teaspoon of cornflour, (I find that cornflour adds a lovely crunch to any batter) a pinch of bicarbonate of soda, season and mix together thoroughly.

Heat up a pan of veg or sunflower oil (2" in a wide pan or use a deep fat fryer or chip pan). Test the heat of oil by dropping in a small amount of the mixture.

Once you are happy with the heat of the oil, form balls by using two tablespoons and passing the mixture between the two spoons. Carefully drop into the oil and cook for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown.

Place the cooked bhajis onto kitchen paper to remove the excess oil.

Serve with a dip such as cucumber of mint raita.

Enjoy!

After the popularity of my UK Gluten Free Beer Guide, I now bring you the Sunday Roast Guide!
All pubs/restaurants listed here have been verified as serving a gluten free roast with gluten free gravy.
The list is accurate as of April 2014, confirmed either via the venue's website or via personal recommendation through Twitter etc.
As before, please feel free to recommend your local. Leave a comment below or tweet me! (@likeazebora)

Until recently, I didn't call myself a feminist, but that was only because I didn't understand it. Feminism has had a bad reputation for years. For example, we only seem to use the adjective 'strident' to precede feminist. Feminists are still associated with lesbianism, protest marching, hairy armpits and men hating.

Fortunately, social media sites like Twitter mean that you can customise your online experience so that we are only in touch with like minded individuals. Many of the people I follow on Twitter are creative and enjoy crafting and baking, eat clean/veggie/vegan, are tattooed, are against animal cruelty, are politically aware and engaged, tweet about issues they feel strongly about and have healthy relationships with people of all genders. A lot of the women I follow also happen to be feminists. It is thanks to Twitter that I found out that I am a feminist. And if you are reading this, and you are a female, I almost guarantee that you are too.
This new wave …

I've complied a list of pubs and restaurants that serve gluten free beer in the UK. About this Guide

This is a work in progress. Are there other places out there? (I believe the La Tasca chain sells Estrella beer, Pizza Express sell Greens and Pitcher and Piano have been known to sell GF occasionally, but I'm sticking to independents here.) Leave a comment or tweet me if your local sells gluten free beer too!
